"THE MAC MAN" book by Frank Iannamico is a great book for the story and background of the Gordon B. Ingram submachineguns. It is my understanding that the Police Models were polished and blued. The standard finish was sand blasted and parkerized. The PD models are very rare and a collectors...

For additional information, there could be an issue with an open bolt semi in the long term. Just like open bolt guns, ATF has also ruled that AR-15 DIASs are machineguns. There was a case of pre '81 DIASs. The owner supposedly had documentation that the DIASs in his possession were made before...

Certainly, it is a fair question. The short answer is that we are closing in on a quarter of a million dollars invested in the project, all self funded. We have just run out of discretionary funding. As you can imagine, my wife has lobbied very hard for me to walk away from the project. Whether...

Done. Scott

This is something that that was mentioned in the "Tenko Fund Raising Idea " thread. Several have asked about this possibility and it was suggested that I start a separate thread. So for those that wish to take a risk and help move this project forward: If you are willing to help me bring this...

A member asked me if the $1,000.00 discount on a Tenko was "Official"? Yes, so far three members have asked for this discount. I have written back with my name and address. Thank you all for those that have inquired. Scott Manger A&S Conversions L.L.C.

It is about whether they can make it fire, not about whether it is practical to make it fire. I would like to thank those that have asked about the $500.00 for a $1,000.00 discount off a Tenko adapter. The support means more than you will ever know. Scott Manager A&S Conversions L.L.C.

ETA, Apparently the calculator in my head had a low battery. My math was incorrect. You are right, 25 investors at $500 each would do it. I certainly could double that investment with a $1,000 discount for the Tenko 10-16 (if approved) to those investors. Scott Manager A&S Conversions L.L.C...

I meant no offense. For that matter if the over 250 on the current Tenko list at Practical Solutions sent me $500, I'd have my target. Again I don't think that would be anything that I would ask, even if I offered double that off the purchase price. I think that the submissions would pass, but I...

Thank you all for your thoughts. We gave up the rental space a year and a half ago. I also gave up my 07/01. It was just too much overhead that I was not using. Even if I sold units at a big loss, let alone for my cost, I don't think that I could raise the $12,000.00 in a month. "Send us a...

For those that are not familiar with The Tenko 10-16, a little background. Ten years ago, I had the idea of making an "upper" that would use the mechanism of an AK in the receiver of a roller delayed. The following year I bought an M10 from Tom (VegasSMG). Instead of using a HK sear/trigger...

Much as I don't want to, I need to raise some cash for my resubmition of the Tenko 10-16 adapter. I need to raise about $10,000 to $12,000. I put four CF(W) tungsten bolts up for sale but, apparently I am asking too much for the new old stock bolts. Since I need the cash should I just list them...

Are you an owner of a .45 M10? If not, are you looking to buy a M10, but you mostly want to shoot 9mm? To me, there are three ways to shoot 9mm from a factory style upper. In ascending order would be M10 .45 with the 9mm adapter, 9mm mag catch, and the factory style 9mm mags. Next would be a...

My question to you is, what do you want the Max11/15 to do? Is having the most variation of cyclic rate important to you? Do you want better control over being able to shoot different calibers than 5.56X45? If so I would drill the hole in the back of the receiver and buy the spring/buffer system...

We have not yet resubmitted the Tenko 10-16. Currently I am at a refueling outage in Avila Beach, CA. Just before I left, in testing the closed bolt version, which would use standard off the shelf uppers, worked great. We will also be submitting an open bolt version. I think that I have one more...

A Melonited gas tube will last longer than a plain stainless steel gas tube. It also makes a big difference in the gas tube length. A pistol length gas tube will blow out after fewer rounds than a carbine length tube. A rifle length tube will last the longest. Of course you can get many more...

My normal, when testing the Tenko and running my DIAS, is to switch uppers after four 30 round mags or after a 100 round Beta-C. But I do that so I am not abusing the upper and it is cooler so that I don't get burned so easily. I can dump two Beta-C mags in a row, but it front lug of the upper...

Thank you for the update. Sorry to hear of his passing.

There was a guy doing tweaks and tower installs on Thompson drums by the name of Merle Bitikofer. I don't know if he still does this, but it is a place to start. Scott ETA I tried calling but cell # was not active. I guess you will have to try...

Bob, if you are going to shoot it, check, or better yet replace, the buffer on the back plate of the bolt assembly. You don't want the bolt slamming into the back plate of the receiver without something to cushion it. Like the foam of the case, original open bolt buffers are known to degrade...
